concubine leisurely

Chapter 16

The direct descendants have no talents?how come?The Wu family was very puzzled. The Duke had six sons, the eldest son Zhang Zheng, the fourth son Zhang Zhao, and the fifth son Zhang Shuoshu. Ming is not bad, besides, Zhang Ci, the eldest son of Erfang, was young and promising, and made great achievements in the battle of defending Bingzhou, but he was in his early twenties, and he was already the commander of the Jingwei Commander.

"Madam doesn't know, no matter how good the third brother is, after he was appointed by Princess Qingchuan, he only has the title of captain consort, and no longer a real job. Unfortunately, a talent like the third brother is useless; as for Zhang Cili's military exploits, He hasn't even been on the battlefield, where did he get his military exploits!" Zhang Zhao looked contemptuous, the concubine is really not as good as the first generation, the second and sixth are just ineffective, and the younger generation can even steal the military exploits of their brothers!This concubine is really worthless.

"How did he make military achievements without going to the battlefield?" Wu asked lazily as she lay in her husband's arms, already tired. "Common people, with low backgrounds, risked their lives to make military exploits, but in the end, there were quite a few of them who were robbed of their military exploits. There are often such nasty things in the barracks. But Zhang Ci's military exploits were actually..., Sigh, let’s not mention it, the father actually let it go, it’s really chilling.” Zhang Zhao’s back felt chills, bastard, was he really born to make wedding dresses for his own son?
Mrs. Wu frowned. She had always been disgusted with Duke Wei. Seeing Zhang Zhao sighing, she felt distressed. She put her arms around Zhang Zhao's waist and comforted him softly, "We don't care about the affairs of the house. As long as we A family of five is fine." The jade man was in his arms, the nephrite jade was warm and fragrant, Zhang Zhao's mind was shaken, he hugged his wife tenderly for a while, and the husband and wife embraced and fell asleep.

Meng Zhai is also a loving couple. Mrs. Zhong is wearing a snow silk satin jacket, sitting on a pear-patterned red sandalwood inlaid jade Maitreya couch, with a coquettish look on her face, "Yue'er is about to leave the court, and there are all kinds of things. The busy people here are overwhelmed, but you are good, taking the children out to have fun, it really calms down." After taking a bath, Meng Lai was in a happy mood, seeing that although Zhong was middle-aged, her waist was no longer slender, so she acted coquettishly However, he still vaguely had the demeanor of his youth, suddenly became interested, and leaned against the bed and softly shouted, "Come here!"

Zhong came over coquettishly and timidly, her body trembling slightly, her eyes dazed, Meng Lai gently held her face, and asked in a low voice, "Dare to blame your man, huh?" A charming voice rang in his ears, Mrs. Zhong was already in a daze, panting lightly, "Don't dare, sir, I was wrong, I dare not." There were groans and begging for mercy, and the ecstasy was heard by Bihan, the maid who was watching the night. The face is red, the wife is almost forty, and the master and wife are still so affectionate. If a handsome man like the master is paired with a young and charming girl, wouldn't it be more...?
In the early morning of the next day, Aunt Ding, Aunt Du, and Aunt Huang stood in the courtyard for a long time. The spring was cold, and Aunt Ding cursed inwardly: Mrs. Zhong will go to Xuanrui Hall every five days to pay her respects. Today, Mrs. Zhong does not need to go to Xuanrui Hall Greetings, since I can get up late for a while, but the concubine's room has to greet the main room every day, and there is no delay in a day.I used to ask for leave every now and then and didn't come here, but now I dare not, one is to please my wife for my daughter, and the other is to find a chance to meet the master.It's just that the wife's score is too big. Anyway, let people enter the house and wait. Do they have to wait in the yard to eat the cold wind?He wanted to wait for it to explode, but he lacked confidence, and seeing Aunt Du and Aunt Huang respectfully bowing their heads and hands down, they had no choice but to put away their anger and look pleasant.

Until the sun was three poles, the little girls in the main house got busy, walking briskly and silently, or passing water or soup, Aunt Ding knew that this was the wife's wake up, so she got up her spirits and ate the food outside by herself. The cold wind for half a day can't be eaten in vain!After a while, the little girl opened the door curtain and invited the three aunts into the house.

Meng Lai and Zhong Shi sat on the Arhat bed from left to right, Meng Lai's complexion was normal, Zhong Shi's face was rosy and charming, and he was in a very good mood.The three aunts greeted Anbi, and a maid came back and said, "I just sent a message to the girls, and I know that today I will be exempted from greetings. The eldest girl is embroidering the dowry in the room, the third girl is with the old lady, the fourth girl, the fifth girl, and the sixth girl are waiting for you." Still asleep, sleeping very soundly." Meng Lai nodded, "The child is growing up, sleep more. Let the people around you serve carefully." The maid served breakfast, and the three aunts served Meng Lai and Zhong Shi After breakfast and gargling, Meng Lai went out to meet guests.

Even though she was under Zhong's nose, Aunt Ding still winked at Meng Lai again and again, but unfortunately it didn't work. Aunt Ding herself was a little discouraged, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Zhong staring at her with a bad expression.Aunt Ding's heart trembled slightly, the wife is the most jealous, today she is impatient, and her behavior is a bit obvious, how could the wife let her off so easily?
Aunt Huang came over with a tea tray in her hand, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Zhong.Her waist is soft, her hands are soft like catkins, and her skin is very white and delicate. Her hands are the same color as the white jade tea tray she is holding. Aunt Ding went crazy with jealousy. If she has such a complexion, how can the master flatter her Eyes turn a blind eye!
Aunt Ding smiled softly, "Aunt Huang is really lucky to be able to stay with Master in Guangzhou for three years. Aunt Huang must have lived very comfortably in these three years. I heard that during the three years in Guangzhou, Aunt Huang was the only one in the master's backyard."

Zhong's complexion changed drastically, thinking of the lingering last night, this Aunt Huang, who spent the past three nights with the master, was so happy every night?She deserves this lowly maid?
Mother Liu looked at Zhong's face and sighed in her heart. The wife is still like this, and she was provoked by a word. This Aunt Huang has a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament. The relationship between the master and her must be very good, but the master Since returning to the mansion, I have been resting in my wife's room every night, and I respect my wife as a concubine. If my wife has an attack on Aunt Huang because of jealousy, the master will always be unhappy even if he doesn't say anything. The relationship between the husband and wife is perfect. Why bother with this nonsense?
Aunt Huang looked cowardly, "Aunt Ding was joking, the master was busy with official duties when he was released, and he often went to the states, counties or even the countryside. Sometimes he was away from the mansion for ten or dozens of days. I'm often busy with business until late at night, I'm in Guangzhou, and I just take care of Miss Wu."

Mrs. Zhong lowered her face and patted the table, "Nonsense! I asked you to follow me. You were supposed to serve the master. How dare you forget your duty!" Aunt Huang hurriedly knelt down, "Forgive me, madam. , took me there just to take care of the fifth girl, I don’t need to serve you there, I was lazy, please punish my wife!”

With a grim expression on her face, Mrs. Zhong said sharply, "If you are like you, you should be shot to death! The master has only taken you with him for three years. If you don't serve the master well, what use are you for!" Aunt Huang tremblingly replied, "The daily life of the master The daily life is all taken care of by the fifth girl. I only make clothes and shoes for the fifth girl, take care of the food and medicine for the fifth girl, and talk with the fifth girl. The master does not let me take care of other things, even the master's clothes and shoes. I didn't take care of it either, damn it!"

The little girl on duty outside the door raised her voice to report, "Master is back." As soon as the door curtain rang, Meng Lai hurried in and told Zhong Shi, "Find me a Xiangfei bamboo head fan, and go quickly." After a while, he took out the fan and handed it to Meng Lai. Meng Lai looked at it and put it away in satisfaction. Before leaving, he turned around and frowned and said, "What are you doing? Taking care of her face, punishing her biological mother like this, how can the daughter live on face?"

Mrs. Zhong hurriedly laughed and said, "It's a little thing, it's over." Then he told Aunt Huang, "Get up quickly."

Meng Lai asked Aunt Huang with a straight face, "The dress that You'er asked you to make, is it ready?"

"Not yet. There are so many things to do every day, I can't take care of them." Aunt Huang said timidly

"Confused!" Meng Lai scolded, "You'er is going to need it in a few days, why do you still care about other things? You don't care about other things, it's serious to take care of You'er! You'er only likes the dresses you make , why don’t you hurry up and do it?” Aunt Huang lowered her head and said “Yes”.

Mrs. Zhong hurriedly said, "Go, go, go quickly, from now on, you only need to do Miss Wu's work, and you don't need to worry about other things, go quickly."

Meng Lai let out a "hum" and left with a trace of anger.

Zhong couldn't help feeling a little regretful.If the husband is really annoyed, although he won't hurt his face as a first wife, he will neglect himself and sleep in the study every day.

Auntie Ding and Lady Du were sent away with a cold face, and Auntie Huang was comforted by a few words. Auntie Huang was very grateful and thanked again. Madam said." Mrs. Zhong smiled encouragingly, "Just say what you have to say." Aunt Huang said in a low voice, "Master seldom calls me to sleep with me, but occasionally he hugs me and calls me Zhen'er, madam, I don't know." Who is Zhen'er, what makes the master miss you so much." Zhong's heart was full of joy, the only people in the Meng family who knew her name was her husband and children, so it turned out that her husband had such deep affection for her!With a smile on his face, he rewarded Aunt Huang with some jewelry and some cloth, and told her to stay in the yard and make the dress for the fifth girl, and not to come up to wait on her.

Mrs. Zhong called Bi He over again, dismissed everyone and asked carefully, Bi He pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Madam, if you want to talk about Aunt Huang, she is really infatuated. She only has five girls in her heart, and what she thinks about all day is how to deal with it." Let Miss Wu eat more rice and drink more soup, the master doesn't pay much attention to her, and she doesn't care at all, either making clothes or skirts for Miss Fifth."

Zhong shi heaved a sigh of relief, most of the unhappiness in her heart disappeared, and the rest was worried: whether her husband would blame herself.Alas, if mother finds out, I'm afraid she will say that she has failed.Mother said that Auntie Du and Auntie Huang came from humble backgrounds and only had one daughter. They can't afford to make waves at all. As long as they do their jobs, there is no need to take advantage of them.Today's self-willed and angry play like this will make my husband unhappy in vain.

In noble families, there are many first-law wives who can only watch their husbands bring in one young and beautiful concubine after another when they are in their thirties, and guard the vacant room by themselves every night. Mrs. Zhong does not want to be like them. Although Mrs. Zhong is young Nearly forty, she still has the feelings of a girl. When she sees Menglai, she will blush and her heart will beat, and she can't help it.

In the evening, when Meng Lai went back to the main room, Mrs. Zhong felt relieved, and served her attentively with a smile. Meng Lai frowned and said, "The fourth girl and the fifth girl are already grown up. Both of them are good children. My wife should love them too." The biological mothers of the two of them were originally maidservants, and the children were already very wronged. If the wife continues to use their biological mother like a girl, how can the two children be in love!" Zhong hurriedly said, "Little four and five are obedient, I Why doesn't it hurt! From now on, Auntie Du and Auntie Huang will only pay her respects in the morning and evening, and she will go back to her own yard for the rest of the time, and she doesn't have to follow me to serve her. How about this, master?" Meng Lai nodded, "You can see that my wife is virtuous and generous." Mrs. Zhong got her husband Praise, smile, all the troubles of the day are gone.

Bihe went to find the sky to give Mo Lian a fancy dress, and told Youran quietly, "It's all according to the girl's confession. My wife didn't suspect it. She probably believed that Aunt Huang was only taking care of the girl in Guangzhou, and she had very little relationship with the master. See She doesn’t look like she’s going to embarrass Aunt Huang anymore.” She listened leisurely with a smile, “Sister, don’t worry. I’ll remember my sister’s kindness.” Bihe said “Ouch”, “My dear girl, our family has not benefited from you much? The whole family is grateful for something."

Leisurely smiled and said, "Your younger brother is talented in reading, so don't delay. Daddy has already hired a gentleman, and he is coming to the house soon. I will tell Daddy when the time comes, let your younger brother be a book boy for Brother Yu. Are you willing?" Bi He was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, girl, this is great." Bi He was born in a family, her parents are honest people, she and her younger brother Mu Sheng were the only ones born, and both parents and younger brother lived in Zhuangzi. , the life at home is tight, and there are a lot of financial aid on weekdays. If he can really be selected as Brother Yu's book boy this time, Mu Sheng will have a bright future.

Leisurely ordered Mo Lian to help Bi He up, "Sister, you're welcome, it's getting late, I won't keep my sister, Mo Lian will send her back." Bi He went out happily, Mo Lian held Bi He's hand and lowered her hand She smiled and said, "Sister, if you go out like this, I'm afraid it will attract people's suspicion." Bi He stuck out her tongue and said, "Aren't you very happy?"

There was a suffocation in Youran's chest, this damn concubine system, this not embarrassing status as a concubine!How helpless it is!
